The document I was reading I believe it was on my computer. I think I downloaded this document quite some time ago, so I would have to look on my browsing history maybe quite a few months back, maybe a year ago(?) and not look just for a week.

Could you mean how to spot compression algorithms with your eyes? That's an archived link in the Tools for Repacking thread.

Thanks for your suggestion. But this was not the content of the document.

I believe the document discussed the various types of (pre)compressors and related software for use with certain file types. It went into some detail as to which was the most appropriate software to use for the file types to be processed and perhaps suggested software settings as well.

xtool supposedly is capable of handling (all) files compressed with zlib. JPEG files are usually compressed via zlib I believe, but xtool seems incapable processing the JPEG files?

Precomp, by Christian Schneider, is capable of processing JPEG files, but xtool is not for some reason(s).

Can someone please explain why xtool can't process JPEG files (properly)?

Thank you.
